Municipal Park Rezoning

Seeking Public Comment
Municipal Park Rezoning

Regular Council Meeting
1:00 PM on Monday, May 25, 2026

Project Description

Bowen Island Municipality seeks to amend these 20 parks to park zones that would restrict the uses to park-related uses. The amendment bylaw would see that 20 parks would be rezoned into 4 park zones.

Should Council proceed with First Reading at this meeting, the bylaws will require referral to the Islands Trust, and further bylaw readings.
